I did have the needle localization biopsy and a piece of tissue 5cm x 4cm x1cm was removed. No cancer. Huge crater underneath my skin. It will fill in with scar tissue i imagine and now that I have had at least 8 biopsies, I presume it will not be too far in the future when i will have no breast tissue just scar tissue. Yes, colonoscopies are not exactly fun, but you are out, no painful tissue removal....maybe some polyps if you get those and not many after effects. Big plus is no one looking at your rectum while you are awake. With a breast biopsy, there is lots of interaction with doctors and my breasts and they are all total strangers.... that makes me feel weird.plus not too many women in radiology....lots of men. Maybe if they took some fat from my stomach while i was out, it would be a win/win situation....I lose some of that fat(stomach) and a little bit of breast tissue.
